I love the Scandinavian Christmas series. And since I am still celebrating Christmas at my house (today is the 10th day of Christmas) I am enjoying reliving Scandinavian Christmas!<br /><br />Aebelskivers are a huge family favoite here ever since my sweetie and I discovered them at a local farm many years ago. Member's of the farmer's family were making them and handing them out free along with samples of the most luscious jams and jellies. I make them for my step-father every time he visits - even in July! He always requests them.pamhttp://gingerbreadsnowflakes.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7815215300318327768.post-25309640612422019022010-12-17T05:12:14.144-07:002010-12-17T05:12:14.144-07:00I used to love that book when I was younger Trisha...I used to love that book when I was younger Trisha, in fact, I probably still would!Kathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05772980323738569627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7815215300318327768.post-33868972079342430482010-12-16T13:48:43.535-07:002010-12-16T13:48:43.535-07:00Oh...and a good book for kids about the Danish sav...Oh...and a good book for kids about the Danish saving the Jews during WWII is called 'Number the Stars.'

(I'm 46 now) I only make them sometimes, but now I feel motivated:) The cardamom makes it taste Danish to me as other Danish treats have it. We have them with jam and powdered sugar. Mmmm...Thanks for this post!Trishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03894671768433211864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7815215300318327768.post-75251632683386965322010-12-16T13:36:57.493-07:002010-12-16T13:36:57.493-07:00Oh, this is lovely!

We call them 'poffertjes' and do not fill them, but eat them with icing sugar and a little bit real butter...hmmm! Although poffertjes are not specialy eaten with christmas overhere.<br />The funny thing is that we overhere think that it is typical dutch food haha!atelierlemlemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07875811058820124227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7815215300318327768.post-41826818208297235292010-12-16T12:21:02.825-07:002010-12-16T12:21:02.825-07:00Your blog title gave a flashback... my Mother and ...Your blog title gave a flashback... my Mother and I on a day trip to NYC having lunch. She loved pickled herring and that's what she had! I don't remember what I had ( tho' I do like the herring) but her enjoyment was the high point. That was over 50 years ago...<br />I am going to look for your pan and if I find it, try making the aebelskiver!Bettina Grohhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02003978827710552997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7815215300318327768.post-70330327756532124492010-12-16T10:55:31.818-07:002010-12-16T10:55:31.818-07:00Awesome!

You might have better luck if you're at a thrift store in Denmark though...good luck! :)<br /><br />Rebecca - It was a pleasure having you guest post!

I can't wait to see what other great things you have in store during this Scandinavian Christmas series!<br /><br />Rebecca@RootsAndWingsCo<br /><br />Astrid,<br />You can usually find aebleskiver pans pretty easily at kitchen stores.

I wonder if you could tell us what an aebleskiver pan is... and what what we poor folks without one might use instead? Would a saucepan do?Red Red Completely Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11625928738125636918noreply@blogger.com
